I have had this bloody rattle that has been driving me bonkers, ive had seats out and used about 20 packets of cable ties to find it and i had a win today, in a rattle seeking missing i removed the glovebox, kick panels, i opened the passenger front door a little to hard and there was that bloody noise, when the pillar took the weight of the fully open door it made the noise, with no access from the inside of the cab i had a look at removing the plastic inner guard, i slipped my hand up near the top door hinge and had a feel while i opened the door to its limit. the noise was there near the hinge so i pulled the front left guard off and found the source of the rattle, it turned out to be a broken spot weld and a crack in a brace from near the bonnet hinge support panel to the door pillar
guard removed
this is what i found, you can see the crack and broken spot weld
i grabbed the welder and gave it a bit of glue and a lick of paint
and well what do ya no, rattle goooonnneee. happy has a pig in pooh now as i can drive now without it annoying the shit out of me. cheers samo
